thank you in advance.

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and for somereason i can't get Adaptive readahead daemon to run, when i try to run it from terminal i encounter: 

** (process:7371): ERROR **: cannot open /var/log/preload.log: Permission denied
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

EDIT :

In the app description in the Ubuntu Software Center in says : " this program is run from a terminal : preload "

so that's exactly whats i did, and got this message.

I could really use this application.

Does anyone has an idea?

how are you running it ?

should run as service , 

sudo service preload restart

or you can try ($USER can be replaced if you want to run with some other user )

sudo chown -R $USER /var/log/preload.log

  • I've edited the question , i run it from terminal as it says in the program's description . – Snopkin Mar 21 '15 at 13:42
  • To be specific after i run it , it doesn't appear in the service --status-all command – Snopkin Mar 21 '15 at 16:20
  • did you run is `sudo service preload restart` ? if you want to run it from console , as a command , try giving destinations where you have write permissions like below `preload -l /tmp/some.log -f -d -s /tmp/some.state` – Ratnakar Pawar Mar 21 '15 at 16:52
